If complementary foods are not introduced around the age of 6 months, an infant's growth may falter

Guiding principles for appropriate complementary feeding are:

-Continue frequent, on-demand breastfeeding until 2 years of age or beyond;

-Practise responsive feeding (for example, feed infants directly and assist older children.

-Practise good hygiene and proper food handling;

-Start at 6 months with small amounts of food and increase gradually as the child gets older;

-Gradually increase food consistency and variety;

-Use fortified complementary foods or vitamin-mineral supple-ments as needed; and

-During illness, increase fluid intake including more breastfeeding, and offer soft, favourite foods

♀️INFANT AND YOUNG CHILD FEEDING

KEY FACTS

- Every infant and child has the right to good nutrition according to the "Convention on the Rights of the Child".

- Undernutrition is associated with 45% of child deaths.

- Globally in 2022, 149 million children under 5 were estimated to be stunted (too short for age), 45 million were estimated to be wasted (too thin for height), and 37 million were overweight or obese.

- About 44% of infants 0-6 months old are exclusively breast-fed.

-Few children receive nutritionally adequate and safe comple-mentary foods; in many countries less than a fourth of infants 6-23 months of age meet the criteria of dietary diversity and feeding frequency that are appropriate for their age.
